OUR VISION
We see a stronger, more self-sustaining future for British forests and woodlands. Through decades of research and forestry experience, our work is centred on developing more productive trees with greater resilience against pests and diseases.
Supporting the planting of improved broadleaves in the UK helps establish a generation of homegrown trees with advanced rates of carbon capture and provides high-quality timber for local supply. Minimising the need for timber imports not only strengthens British industry but helps fight overseas deforestation.
Goal 1 – Conduct research
Goal 2 – Increase our impact
Goal 3 – Sound governance
